Hockey is my dream. But if I don’t make it to the NHL, I’ll be the family failure—especially with my little brother on his way. Then Cooper struts back into my life. My high school crush. The guy who made my chest ache with emotions I buried so deep, I wished they’d disappear. He’s heading to the NFL and setting me up with his friend. But my heart’s never raced for anyone the way it does him.

Hockey is my life. My ticket to the NHL is in sight, and I can’t afford distractions. Then Coach pairs me with Rowan, the new guy from Boston. He’s talented, sharp, and annoyingly irresistible. When he asks to hit the gay bar with me and my friends, I chalk it up to curiosity. But one too many drinks later, I spill my truth—and suddenly, he’s looking at me like he’s ready to cross a line he’s never touched before. I’ve been burned by straight guys before, and I’m not about to get hurt again. Rowan swears he’s different. Can I risk believing him?

I’m minding my own business when he struts into our locker room. His confidence and sex appeal in his fitted suit and million-dollar smile are undeniable. After picking my jaw off the floor, I collect myself. I need to find out more about him. Do I follow him around? Yes. Do I make a fool of myself? Maybe. While celebrating a win at the gay bar, my temper flares when I see him with another man. Do I dare take a chance?

Hockey was everything, but now I’m questioning if I’ll ever make it to the NHL. I need to find a life. In comes a stunning guy in designer jeans and hair so dark and silky, I struggle to keep my fingers to myself. We connect at an animal rescue, where I accidentally soak him with a hose. I give him my team shirt to make amends. The vision of him in my clothes stirs a primal urge in me. When he mentions he’s queer, my heart skips a beat. But he’s only interested in a hookup.

I should hate him. But after learning the truth, how could I not fall for him? MasonMy rookie season in the NHL started with a gut punch. There he was, standing in my locker room. Jett Jarvis, a player hated by his former teammates. He has an arrogant smirk, intense eyes, and a birthmark that looks… too familiar. I’m sure I saw it on the dude who dumped me in my hookup app. They say Jarvis isn’t gay, but I bet he’s the same jerk. I’m getting to the bottom of this, even if it means pushing his buttons until he snaps. But the more I mess with him, my anger loses out to my attraction.

My life is finally starting to fall into place. My band is leveling up. We're playing bigger gigs. And I'm one step away from landing my dream job, even if it means leaving everything behind. Including him. Ryder Scott has always been my best friend. The one constant. The one person I've never stopped wanting… even when I knew I couldn't have him. Because he was straight.

I’m the lead guitar player in a punk-pop band and I get hit on a lot. But I’ve got a big problem—a crush on my older brother’s best friend, Remy. Of course, he’s straight. So instead of having him, I’ve become the king of hookups. I’m used to hiding my feelings behind teasing and innuendo. But that only drives him further away from me.

I hadn’t planned on falling for anyone, especially him. After escaping a suffocating Mormon past, I built a new life—working at a queer-owned bakery, singing in a band, embracing skirts and eyeliner like armor. Then Brandon walks into my world with his shy smiles and stammered compliments. I can't look away. He says he’s never been with a guy. But every time his eyes linger, every time our fingers brush, I wonder…is he just curious, or as lost as I am? I want him. But I’m not sure where to start.

My life is music—late nights, dive bars, and chasing the rush of being on stage. The band is finally gaining traction, and for the first time, it feels like something real. Then I meet him. Eric Moore—smart, confident, and completely out of my league. One night turns into something more. Something I can’t walk away from. Something that feels…right. But when I get back to campus, everything changes. Because Eric isn’t just the guy I fell for in Mexico, He’s my professor. Now every glance in class is a risk. Every touch could ruin us.

My life is already a balancing act—law school, my band, and hiding who I am from my father. Being gay isn't part of his perfect plan, so I keep my secrets locked down tight. Then he sends Jeremy. He's supposed to be my bodyguard. My shadow. My problem. But he's also too observant, too stubborn, and way too damn attractive. He follows me everywhere, watching me like I'm worth protecting. And the more time we spend together, the harder it is to pretend I don't want him. Because if my father finds out? I won't just lose my future, I'll lose everything.

Getting rescued in a dark alley should’ve been the end of the story. Instead, it was the beginning of everything I never saw coming.

As a hockey goalie, I don’t back down. When I meet my match in a figure skater, will my relentless pursuit win his heart? AceBeing in a dry spell sucks. Not my hockey game, my love life. My friends decide it’s time to fix it. So they drag me out, dressed to impress. Then I see him—exactly my type, all smoldering eyes and a slender body that’s got me forgetting how to breathe. When our hookup leads to a connection, he gives me his number and I can't believe my luck. Then... he ghosts me. Out of nowhere. Why? ZomaAll I wanted was a quick hookup to take the edge off. No complications, no strings.
